Default Screenwash Alarm/Icon won't go away after refill

Hi everyone,

I filled up my screen wash reservoir on Saturday and this morning (Wednesday) the alarm/icon came on again. After refilling, Ive used the screen wash 3 or 4 times. I refilled it with 'Preston Performance Screen Wash'.

Anyone else had this issue? Its not a major issue, just annoying having that 'refill reservoir' icon on my dashboard all the time.

That is a known failure. Pretty cheap and easy to replace the sensor. < $20US

I did mine. There are procedures on Audizine.com. It involves turning the wheel hard to one side and peeling back the plastic wheel well. Once you have access it is very simple to remove and replace. Have a bucket ready as all your washer will pour out.
